Matthew Wood - Shamanic Herbalism: Animal Medicines / Plant Medicines

 

March 24-25, 2017 Friday & Saturday 10 AM - 5 PM

Cost is $225. Reserve your spot if you are sure you want to come - class size is limited to 20..

In this two day class, Matthew Wood will share the spiritual nature of plants that he has learned, intuited, and experienced based on over 30 years of immersion in the world of plants and their teachings.  

He will paint a picture of his use of the "inner medical license" provided by nature through the doctrine of signatures - using what a plant looks like, how it is used by animals, their spirit signatures - and lead us on plant journeys to show the inter-connections with their healing.  

Matthew Wood, as all good storytellers do, will take us out of the mind and into the spirit of plants. Many herbs have 'shamanic" forces that touch our souls and hearts in ways that open us up to Nature and the Old, Old Path of Nature Wisdom.

"Herbal knowledge interpentrates the animal kingdom with human healthcare. The different functions of human society, the different constitutions and personalities of people, the different medicine gifts, the organs of the body are all represented by the animal powers or medicines, and these in turn relate to plant medicines: bear, deer, badger, panther, catfish, wolf, etc...In this class we learn to see the inter-connections and to practice a very simple and practical herbal medicine. We will also practice plant journeying." Matthew Wood
